abstract

Via compactification on a circle, the matrix model of M-theory proposed by Banks et al suggests a concrete identification between the large N limit of two-dimensional N=8 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and type IIA string theory. In this paper we collect evidence that supports this identification. We explicitly identify the perturbative string states and their interactions, and describe the appearance of D-particle and D-membrane states.

Worldsheet Formalism for Decoupling Limits in String Theory

hep-th · 2023-11-17 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Develops worldsheet sigma model for fundamental strings in critical type IIA limit showing nodal singularities and derives T-duality web unifying decoupling limits including ambitwistor and Carrollian strings.

On the large N convergence of matrix models

hep-th · 2026-06-05 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In the semiclassical approximation the eigenvalues of the SU(N) matrix model Hamiltonian converge one-to-one to the eigenvalues of the continuum supermembrane Hamiltonian with central charge as N approaches infinity.

Instabilities in scale-separated Casimir vacua

hep-th · 2025-07-23 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0
